This has already been expressed here in the reviews, but just as a reminder one more time..... this DVD is NOT the original version. The original version has more material and is much better. Hopefully someday they'll release an Unrated Version the way it was on VHS at one time.

I first saw this during my freshman year in college and have never forgotten it as the perfect erotic story of a "good girl/bad boy". The fact that I graduated 11 years ago lets you know that it made an impression on me. I could easily put myself in the position of the woman in the film, and it was a position where I definitely would want to be! Reading the other reviews that mentioned the soundtrack immediately made me start humming the theme and I had not even thought of this song or movie in years!

Every since the first time I saw this move, I loved it.
Ilove Steven Bauer. He's so sexy and handsome. I think every woman at one time had a "Thief of Hearts" in her life. I finally go my own video of it for Christmas. I really want the soundtrack. I know other people have asked about it. Can you let me know where I can get it? I love the end of the move when he looks back at her and the song plays.

I first saw this in 1985 when I worked in a video store and then watched it repeatedly. "Norm" from "Cheers" even has a small role in it. Steven Bauer was an unknown at the time but he's very sexy and it's an entertaining film. If you like his work, check him out in "Running Scared", "Scarface", "Primal Fear", "Raising Cain" and "Traffic". He was also married to Melanie Griffith years ago. Lucky her. I've also been looking for the soundtrack and saw it in a shopping mall in Denver on cassette about 16 years ago but didn't have any cash to buy it. Bummer. Bored married women will enjoy Barbara Williams' character, who literally escapes from her drab existence and eventually strengthens her marriage by doing so. Good flick. David Caruso from "NYPD Blue" had a pretty memorable role as well.

I love this movie ! I think Steven Bauer is a great actor and don't understand why we don't see more of him. This is a nice, easy-going movie done with good taste. There's a touch of danger combined with a touch of love that will have you in tears in the end. If a love story is your game than you need to see Thief of Hearts.

I remember seeing this movie when it first came out in 1984. I thought it was a good film and really enjoyed it. The music in this movie is really good and it adds a certain sexy appeal to the film's love scenes. I found this movie to be highly erotic which I love and thought the lovemaking scene in the thief's bedroom was done in very good taste without being too ponographic. As far as the acting is concern, Steven Bauer was very convincing as the man who disruptured Mickey's somewhat perfect marriage after stealing her diaries. As for Barbara Williams, no big deal I think she really needs to relax more in front of the camera she looked tense in most scenes. She really would benefit from enrolling in a good drama school and really learning her craft. David Caruso formerly on NYPD BLUE and now on CSI MIAMI, is also quite good as the volatile Bobby Calamara. I gave this movie three stars because I believe the movie could have told more about Scott's personal life and find out more about his background. He was extremely private and the audience I feel felt they were missing a great deal to his way of thinking and why he did what he did for a living. He was a loner, perhaps too much of a loner. Still this was a good movie I'm glad that they finally released it on DVD I wish they would release the soundtrack on CD, I love the music in this movie it is extremely romantic and erotic. Overall, what made this movie appealing to me was no doubt Steven Bauer's performance. He is a great actor is just too bad that we haven't seen too much of him especially in really good movies. Most of the movies that he has done have gone straight to video and they're pretty dissapointing the majority of them. It would be a good thing if he was offered a starring role in a major motion picture that would really show what he is capable of as an actor. Like I said he is a great actor who has not really been the kind of opportunities that actors like Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt have had. Buy this movie is really good and very sexy. See it with somone you care or love a great deal. I guarantee that after you and your significant other see THIEF OF HEARTS, you will want to make love for hours.

One night, while flipping the channels, i came across the most amazing movie about Love and danger, the two combined made this movie soooo great! If your looking for that all time love story, here it is. Steve Bauer is sooo cute...I fell in love with him with i saw this moive, and the soundtrack as well...if you know were i can find the soundtrack, let me know pleassse! thanks :)

This 1984 film is a fantasy/Drama designed for the Fame and Flashdance crowd. Complete with a well thought out soundtrack made for success, this movie took a step closer to romantic and sexual than it's predecessors. It also included a "rear" look a Steven Bauer ...! You can see even more clearly on DVD!
It's funny to watch this movie so many years later. You see it much differently than the first time movie theater viewing. The styles are very 80's, from Barbra Williams versitile permed bob (updo, curly, straight and wavy) to marital problems of the 80's (succesfull husband not paying attention to his wife's carreer and sexual spontinaety). This type of scenario makes it very easy for young and handsome professional thief (Steven Bauer) to enter into her life.
This kind of movie is common these days on the Lifetime channel. If you enjoy all that, this movie is for you! The only thing missing from this movie on DVD is the extras that selll the other DVD's. Where is the rare musical video for the title song sung by Melissa Manchester in a steamy shower scene with Steven Bauer? Where is the video for Love In The Shadows sung by EG Daily (who recently updated this song) or footage by the stars involved?

This film is very erotic and very sensual, with great acting by Steven Bauer. I also love the theme song by Melissa Manchester.

This is one my absolutely favorite 80s movies. If you love 80s music, then this is for you - one of the best soundtracks out there. The plot is kind of cheesy but in a really fun way that takes you away from reality. It has a very sexual tone to it that makes you want to jump Steven Bauer. He looks totally hot in this movie. It's definitley worth watching.
